Background: Multiple-patient simulation (MPS) allows nursing students to develop leadership skills. Limited research examining student outcomes following MPS exists.
Purpose: This pilot study investigated the impact of MPS on (1) anxiety with transition to practice, (2) anxiety with clinical decision-making, (3) self-confidence with clinical decision-making, and (4) perceptions about MPS as a learning strategy.
Methods: Twenty-two senior baccalaureate nursing students participated in this 2-group mixed-methods study. Data were collected before and after a leadership course using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making Scale, and a researcher-developed perceptions survey.
Results: Self-confidence with clinical decision-making significantly increased for all participants regardless of group assignment. Anxiety and anxiety with clinical decision-making decreased without significant changes. No significant differences were found between groups. Qualitative findings yielded 3 themes: preparation for clinical practice, overcoming anxiety, and confidence.
Conclusion: Research investigating additional student outcomes after MPS with larger, more diverse samples is needed.

Coronary Intervention Outcomes in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis.
Curr Cardiol Rep
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review assesses the outcomes of coronary interventions in patients with liver cirrhosis and coronary artery disease (CAD), focusing on the clinical challenges posed by cirrhosis-related hemodynamic and coagulopathic changes. It highlights essential considerations for managing these patients, who have an increased risk of adverse events during coronary procedures.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have shown that patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing PCI experience significantly higher mortality rates compared to non-cirrhotic patients, particularly in the context of STEMI and NSTEMI.
Fostering moral reflectivity in community pharmacists through moral case deliberation using the dilemma method.
Int J Clin Pharm
January 2025
Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Clinical Pharmacology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Utrecht University, PO Box 80082, 3508 TB, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Background: Moral case deliberation has been successfully implemented in multidisciplinary groups of secondary care professionals to support ethical decision making. It has not yet been reported for community pharmacists.
Aim: This study investigated whether moral case deliberation fosters moral reflectivity in community pharmacists.
Pharmacotherapeutic options for coronary thrombosis treatment: where are we today?
Expert Opin Pharmacother
January 2025
Cardiovascular Research Unit, Division of Clinical Medicine, School of Medicine and Population Health, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK.
Introduction: Advances in pharmacotherapy for coronary thrombosis treatment and prevention have transformed the clinical outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease but increased the complexity of therapeutic decision-making. Improvements in percutaneous coronary intervention techniques and stent design have reduced the incidence of thrombotic complications, which consequently has increased the challenge of adequately powering clinical trials of novel antithrombotic strategies for efficacy outcomes. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of coronary thrombosis and the characteristics of antithrombotic drugs can help with therapeutic decisions.

Epilepsia Open
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York, USA.
Objectives: Pediatric status epilepticus (SE) carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality and can result in neurologic injury. Establishing seizure activity on conventional EEG (cEEG) is essential but can delay treatment of seizures due to technician limitations. Rapid response EEG (rrEEG) device Ceribell and its Brain Stethoscope function can be used and interpreted rapidly by bedside providers with minimal training.

Musculoskeletal Care
March 2025
School of Health Sciences, The University of Newcastle, Newcastle, Australia.
Background: Clinical decision making to develop an exercise program and then prescribe that program should be based on the best evidence available. However, little evidence exists to guide the development of an exercise program, determining optimal dosage parameters or for effective prescription techniques to achieve best patient outcomes possible.
Objective: To gain consensus from expert clinical physiotherapists in the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation on key recommendations for developing and prescribing effective exercise programs in musculoskeletal rehabilitation in a one-on-one setting.
